Featured Article

DUSKRUIN: FROSTBOUND

Winter grips Bloodriven Village as Duskruin returns beneath a veil of ice and snow, featuring brutal combat in the Arena, the thrilling hunt for bandit caches in the sewers, and a host of fresh attractions in the shops.

The High End Scrip Shop continues to evolve with expanded automation, moving more services into the Annex and making powerful enhancements for your armaments easier than ever. A collection of highly anticipated purified metal services makes their first appearance in the Annex, while a fresh rotation of intermediate transmutes arrives in HESS, promising potent new upgrade potential for your most prized treasures.

Running from Friday, February 6th at 9:00 PM ET to March 1st, 2026 at 11:45 PM EDT. Sales end on February 28th at 11:45 PM EDT.
